MORTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Officials say they have recovered the body of a man who went missing in Lake Mecosta on Friday.
The victim has been identified as 34-year-old David Thompson of Taylor, Michigan.
According to the Sheriff's Office, witnesses reported seeing Thompson fall from a jet ski into Lake Mecosta around 4:30 Friday afternoon. He was not seen resurfacing.
Rescue crews searched for Thompson for hours Friday, but ended their efforts in the evening due to darkness and visibility issues.

The Sheriff's Office says Thompson was not wearing a personal flotation device at the time of the incident.
